Yeah, all we've heard is "We need it! It better rain soon or we're going to die!", along with laughter at the rest of the country, because we're getting polar vortex'ed over and over again. Don't look for sympathy from the rest of us, you wankers.

Cubit = length from elbow to tip of middle finger. Obviously YMMV, so it's an archaic, inexact measurement but it does allow the carpenter to flip the bird at whoever is giving such ludicrous instructions.

Oh pish. Be glad it's rain. Since an inch of rain equals 10 inches of snow, give or take, that shiat would be horrifying in half the country right now, and we're supposed to get pounded again Sunday (give or take).

Well, it seems we can stop diverting water from the Colorado river to SoCal now.

I wish the weather pattern could shift. One inch of rain generally converts to about 10 inches of snow. That would really shut them up.

The only people complaining are those living on the sides and at the bottoms of hillside burn areas and those living in areas with ancient infrastructure that's insufficient to drain the streets and such. The vast majority of us are more than okay with the rain we're getting. However, "Something is happening and most folks are not complaining about it." Makes for boring news.

The damage in some cases has already been done. Cattle has been sold off too early, orchards have been ripped out of the ground, people are starving, cats and dogs are living together, we're all going to die....or pay more for almonds this summer maybe both.

Dear California,

I know things suck right now, but you have prospered so much in the past and laughed at the rest of us while you used water that comes from my state.

Please, stay where you are and suffer and whatever you do, please do not let any more of your citizens move here.

Yes, thanks for that. By the way, we're going to take more and there's nothing you can do about it so....thanks in advance. I'd stay and chat but it looks like the rain is letting up a little some I'm gonna run outside and fire up the sprinklers for a bit.

You mean it's snowing? it's called winter.

Yeah, I live in the Chicago area and I love being lectured on winter weather from some mope in Redlands, CA.
